Great find Dan, Thanks. I do think he has a certain blue collar nature, both good and bad, and no doubt he's a "real" businessman who has done actual work and lives in our world, if with a lot more zeroes. It's still business, it's still real and not the fluff of a government and political system run by people who went straight from college to law school to politics.

Loved this summary:

Okay, technically, Trump's not a working stiff. He's hardly in a dead-end job living paycheck to paycheck. But despite his billions, Trump shows up to work every day and puts in eight to twelve hours. He personally oversees his projects, walks job sites, and sacrifices personal and family time to meet deadlines and make payrolls.
This is where the Washington elite will never get it, because they have no point of reference for actual work. Their careers are rooted in words, volumes of empty rhetoric. There's no passion in their lives, no driving ambition, no actual product to inspire personal pride.
